Alfred Dunhill Shell Briar English pipe, sandblasted black, group 5, 28 Diplomat semi-bent nose-burner shape, oval shank, and black ebonite saddle mouthpiece without filter.
The "Diplomat," model 28 by Dunhill, is a bent Brandy pipe with an oval shank.
It is a rare shape by today's standards, but it is a classic.
This version, with "nose-warmer" proportions (less than 10 cm), is incredibly rare and unique.
A well-balanced and very lightweight nose-burner pipe, Dunhill group 5, with smaller dimensions but better quality briar and finish.
The pipe is very elegant and refined, the sandblasted black color giving it a special grace.
The shape is the unusual Diplomat, with an oval shank and a wide, deep bowl perfect for Latakia and Balkan Mixture tobaccos.
The Dunhill Shell Briar 5928 pipe is extremely rare, small in size, but stands out for its excellent smokeability in any situation.
The Brandy 5928 nose-warmer pipe is Dunhill's English pocket model—The White Spot, a timeless model that every pipe smoker should have in their collection.
Its extraordinary lightness makes it ideal for any smoke, whether on a walk or comfortably seated in an armchair.
An English nose-warmer pipe that never tires and is always current.
The Dunhill Shell Briar series was distinguished by a double sandblasting process that produced a deeper finish, while today the sandblasting is single for a softer effect.
This series was introduced in 1917 and was the second finish introduced by Dunhill, and is still a cornerstone of the brand today.
The pipe was produced in 2025, as indicated by the 25 stamp next to the Made in England mark.
Alfred Dunhill opened his tobacco shop on Duke Street in London in 1983 and presented his first pipe in 1906.
His aim was to create something useful, reliable, and aesthetically beautiful: he wanted it to last and be the best of its kind.
Dunhill English pipes were soon considered among the finest in the world, and their success is evident to this day. They are handcrafted with the finest materials, from briar to German ebonite, and with an almost obsessive meticulousness that guarantees the creation of a finished product perfect in every detail.
If, after over a hundred years, Dunhill is still one of the most coveted and beloved pipes, perhaps it's thanks to Alfred's motto, which is still applied in production today: "Nothing less than the best."
